These are stories about human lives and spirit, about love and joy, about sadness, grief, and fear, about children, family, partners, friends, sexuality, homosexuality, and sometimes about AIDS.

Sexual Orientation is clearly an influence but it does not define the whole of people's lives. Underlying each story is a complex, multi-faceted human being.

This is a book for people of all ages and sexual orientations:

Written for young gay people who are looking for positive role models among people similar to themselves, for heterosexual adults and young people who want to understand the real people behind the myths and stereotypes of homosexuality, and for the families, friends, and colleagues of gay people.
